The Holy Prophet, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was given the choice at the end that if he wished he could live in this world, and if he wished, he could come to Him. The Holy Prophet s as submitted: ‘O my God! I now desire that I should come to You. ’ And the last words that he uttered while his blessed soul departed were فِیْق ِ الَْعْلٰی َّ بِالر فِیْق ِ الَْعْلٰی َّ بِالر. Meaning that, ‘I do not wish to live here now; I wish to go to my God. ’ Now, compare these two statements. Your ‘God’ not only spent the entire night praying for mortal life but even on the cross he cried and cried out loud to be saved from death, but who was listening to him? On the other hand, our Master, the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, did not pray for mortal life at all. God Himself gave him the author- ity that if he desired this life, the same would be done. But he said that he did not wish to live in this world anymore. Is this the ‘God’ you depend on? You ought to die of shame!!! And your contention that the Qur’an commands people to hide their faith is merely a false accusation and calumny that has no basis in reality. The Qur’an , in fact, curses 1 ٭ those who wilfully hide the testimony of faith, and it curses those who lie. Perhaps, on account of your ignorance, you have misconstrued this verse of the Holy Qur’an which is in S u rah an-Na h l: 1. ٭ Note: َ الْكٰذِبِيْن لَعْنَةُ اللّٰہِ عَلَی [The curse of Allah be upon the liars] Tell me whether this verse is found in the Holy Qur’an or in the Gospel. —Author
